Stimulating the Mind Through Mo`olelo

Today's hike around Diamond Head allowed us to "talk story" with colleagues we were just getting to know, others who we knew but never had a chance to chat in depth with, and to catch up with old friends. Through Mo`olelo, or stories, tales, or legends, Kawika taught us to chant, and also used repetition to teach us to memorize the chant. Hopefully we'll still remember the chant tomorrow!

Upon first learning of this assignment, I was a bit apprehensive as I never posted a blog before. As I complete this assignment, I see that this assignment has value to me, as it will allow me to relate to my students who complain about the time spent on writing daily reflections and downloading photos to the reflections.

Students often comment how much time they spend writing daily reflections in the fundamental cookery class. They advise fellow students not to take a heavy course load when taking this course because of the reflection writing assignment. One student reported staying up until 2am the first few days of class, due to having to learn to post reflections and download photos.

I'll try to remember to bring my camera tomorrow, to take photos and try to post them.

Until tomorrow.....
